Magnum P I Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 My moustache is tingling. That's always a good sign He did find some talent , but how much of that was scouts ? He got allot of credit for Things he didn't do, and the things he did do handicapped this team for years to come Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

250Integra Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 This could be very bad or may end up very good for the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver_surfer Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm hoping that there is a plan; Bob Nicholson: Team President Trevor Linden: Vice President ??? General Manager Marcus Naslund: Assistant GM ??? Coach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 HUGE MISTAKE Team will regret this in the future. Gillis will land a job quickly and help whatever team he end up on.

If people expected something else from him that's on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Gillis had his hands tied anyways so its best for all parties. Time to bring in a GM that will stand up to FA and not allow him to tie their hands. go nucks go! oh btw #firetorts im sure Toronto could use him LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panelguy Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 The Canucks need a management team capable of putting a winning team together like the Ducks , Sharks that's where it starts. Trevor as Pres , I don't think that's a good move they need a good hockey guy with experience running a pro hockey team this is no time for experiments.

theminister Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 This move was made to appease the bloodthirsty masses. It's a bad hockey move. Agreed. Usually when a GM is fired a new one is appointed within days. If the ownership don't have one already lined up then that's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 He had to go. There were barely any pieces done this season, especially the trade deadline. Relatively poor returns for Schneider and Luongo and nothing done in the deadline to help this team over the hump. Torts was JUST hired. Who will they bring in?

aGENT Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Don't celebrate until you know who the replacement is. If it's Feaster then we just took a step back. Yeah the anti-Gillis crowd is celebrating now but this smacks of ownership being reactionary, panicky and further hints at them being overly involved in hockey operations... That makes me worried but we'll see who they plan on having replace him (and likely Torts) before I form a concrete opinion on the move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Money Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 So Torts lives on? It had to happen. What is it with this team going to the finals, then underperforming, then bringing in a hard-line ex-Rangers coach, having it all go to crap, and then canning the GM? Hope it turns out better this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
